Default New to compost

Hi there, can anyone give me ideas for what I can and cannot compost? I
am not putting in meat or fish (Barring prawn shells and bits of skin).
I try to layer with grass clippings and some cardboard. There are worms
and the whole thing seems to be settling well. I'm having difficulty
filling it up!

Are there any definate 'No-No's' or should I soldier on as I am? Are
there things I should definately be adding?


Sounds as thought you are doing all the right things, except perhaps the
prawn shells and bits of skin, I put shreded paper in mine as well.

Prawn shells and bits of skin aren't a problem.
